In a shocking incident, alcohol was used in a ‘bhumi pujan’ function at Dediapada tehsil of Narmada district of “Dry” Gujarat.
Leaders including BTP MLA Mahesh Vasava and former BJP MLA Motisingh Vasava were present on the occasion when the ritual with the alcohol took place at the ‘Khat Muhurat’.
This has not gone down well with many in the state where liquor is banned. Bharuch BJP MP Mansukh Vasava has expressed displeasure over the matter. He said that Bhumi Pujan is always performed with Abil-Gulal, Kanku-rice and milk, water. But instead of these things, leaders are performing the puja with alcohol, he added.
“De-addiction campaigns are being carried out and various religious figures are also working day and night for the betterment of the society, asking people to stay away from addictions like alcohol and gambling. But what message do they want to give to the tribal society?,” Vasava added further.
Mansukh Vasava further said that our conducts should always be such that the society can take inspiration from that.
